Errm, like what? It's generally advised not to run anything as root unless 
you absolutely have to. If you can do it as Joe Ordinary User, then all the 
better. You probably want to study the manpages on chown and chmod and again, 
think really hard about whether you need to do it this way.

If you have installed it properly (and it's running) you should be able to 
look at your homepage placeholder by typing - http://localhost - into the 
address bar (see earlier posts). If this doesn't work, it's either not set up 
properly or you need to go fiddle with the network configuration (lets hope 
not at this stage). If that works you should be able to copy your .php page 
into /var/www or something similar and see what it does!

I don't have a clue how Apache works under windows (did I understand that 
right?). I know my Linux box uses a local loopback interface which allows you 
to access your own computer as if it was online. (?)

Do not worry, you're not the only one learning PHP etc. for the first time.
At least we'll all have lots of lovely questions to ask Sean at next month's 
meeting. ;-]

good luck!
